Six Palestinians Killed by Israeli Forces in Jenin Assault

Occupied West Bank (Quds News Network)- Six Palestinians have been killed and at least 35 others injured by Israeli occupation forces during the ongoing assault on the occupied West Bank City of Jenin on Tuesday, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

The Israeli army has announced the start of a military operation in Jenin.

Local sources said Israeli soldiers stormed the city from the Jalameh military checkpoint, after a special Israeli force infiltrated the al-Jabariyat neighborhood.

The raid coincided with Israeli drones bombing an empty vehicle near al-Zahraa School in the vicinity of Jenin refugee camp, without any injuries being reported, while Apache helicopters fired into the skies of the camp.

The Israeli military claimed it was conducting a “counterterrorism” operation, without providing details.

The Times of Israel newspaper, citing a military source, reports the Israeli military’s ongoing raid in Jenin is expected to go on for at least several days, mobilising extensive troops, special forces and intelligence personnel.

The operation is codenamed “The Iron Wall”, said Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the operation, writing on X: “Under the guidance of the Security Cabinet, the IDF, Shin Bet, and the Israel Police launched today a wide-ranging and significant military operation to combat terrorism in Jenin – “Iron Wall.””
